The Goal

GIVE HOPE TO PEOPLE LIVING WITH MS

“My goal with this charity is to give hope to people who are living with MS and let them know that they are not alone.

“I would like to raise awareness so people understand what MS is and raise funds to support people living with multiple sclerosis. The more I learn about MS, the more I realize how important it is to have a team, to be able to afford to take your medications and treatments, and also to live a happy life.

“You also need to be able to afford your medication and treatments. I didn’t realize before I was diagnosed how expensive MS treatments are. After talking to my doctors and people that are supporting my charity, I realized that this is where I want to focus most of my efforts.

“Harding’s Hope is not funding MS research. Instead, we’re focused on supporting individuals and families living with MS who are struggling with the costs of treating the disease.

“I would like people that have MS not to worry about the decision to either take their medication or put food on the table. If Harding’s Hope can help take away the stress of them not being able to pay their bills, I think that would help them live a more healthy and fulfilling life.

“I have learned firsthand how important it is to have people who understand what you are going through and to know that they will always be there for you.

"I truly believe that if you’ve been diagnosed with MS, having your own team is very important. Whether your team consists of family members, friends, neighbors, doctors, or teammates, you need to be able to talk about your MS openly and know that your team has your back."
